Report to the Fostering Network
Authors: Holmes, Lisa; McDermid, Samantha; Trivedi, Helen
Abstract: This paper has been produced by members of the Head, Heart, Hands evaluation team from the
Centre for Child and Family Research (CCFR) at Loughborough University as a follow up to an initial
paper produced in November 2014 (Holmes, McDermid and Trivedi, 2014) to explore the potential
economic impact of Head, Heart, Hands. The Head, Heart, Hands demonstration programme
activities in the sites will end in December 2015, and as such, at the time of writing many of the sites
are exploring sustainability models and how they might continue with social pedagogic practice
beyond the timeframe of the programme. Consequently, the need for a better understanding of the
cost implications of Head, Heart, Hands and social pedagogy at this critical juncture has become
apparent. This paper has been prepared to inform discussions and decisions around sustainability.

Authors: Lushey, Clare; Munro, Emily R.
Abstract: Peer research has the potential to empower young people to participate in research by
minimising power imbalances between researchers and participants; this may reduce
bias and promote improved understanding to inform policy and practice. However,
these benefits are not automatic; the relative inexperience of peer researchers adds
layers of complexity to the research process. Moreover, the validity of findings from
research adopting less traditional methods may be questioned and policy makers may be
cautious about accepting this evidence, thus limiting its contribution and impact. This
paper explores the advancement of participatory peer researcher methodology in
research with children in and leaving care and ethical, practical and data quality issues
that arose in two studies exploring young people’s transitions from care to adulthood.
It concludes that the peer research methodology can yield rich data but that adequate
resources and effective research management are crucial. The authors also caution
against a reductionist approach that privileges peer research methodology above
other methods of inquiry in the study of transitions from care to adulthood.

Authors: Lushey, Clare; Maskell-Graham, Debi
Abstract: This paper will explore the relationship between leaving care and homelessness in England
and set the context for two initiatives currently being piloted; Right2BCared4 and Staying Put
18+ Family Placement Programme. The protective factors that underpin both pilots will be
outlined. In addition, a vulnerable group of care leavers will be identified that may fall
outside of these initiatives and may be at risk of the poorest outcomes in terms of
homelessness and accompanying challenges.
